Kate Gosselin's 33-year-old ex-husband told Radar he has been doing some soul searching and the tattoo is representative of changes in his life — he picked a Korean dragon because it’s a symbol of rebirth and the circle of life.

“The dragon is all encompassing. It has all parts of the zodiac,” Jon told Radar. “This was the perfect timing for me."

"They love it and think it’s cool!' the proud dad said.
Another part of Jon's renewal was hiring his new manager, Canaan Rubin who told Radar Online, “This tattoo for Jon marks this turning point in his life, and symbolizes his time of change, and improvement.”
